Now available for a bargainous £2 is the ninth in a series of chapbooks printed by Forest Publications: a collection of short stories entitled, Vignettes from Below by Julia Boll. The lovely cover is from Rosie Etherington.
Here’s an excerpt:
“When the fires broke out, I was so high on endorphins I didn’t even notice the overwhelming stench of smoke.

So, yes. While the government set fire to its capital city, I was being fucked silly on top of the bonded store, on the brick layer over five storeys of wine barrels and coffee sacks, in the small hours of a particularly cold November night. Thus, I already felt light-headed and short of breath before the carbon monoxide made me dizzy. Then, the nausea set in.” Read more!
